In the sweeping gestures of my large abstract canvases, I paint in soft pinks and pastel tones to explore the memory and imagination of a homeland, both remembered and re-envisioned.

Delicate threads of gold leaf weave through the surface of the canvas, catching and reflecting light, bringing luminosity to shadow. Through this interplay of colour, texture, and light, gentle, layered brushstrokes allow the pigments to breathe and reveal their depth.

I’m interested in how art lives within a space. I’m fascinated by how it can exist beyond the traditional context of museums and galleries, how it can inhabit everyday environments and become accessible to many more of us.

Born in Colombia, and having grown up in Mallorca, I am now based in London, a city that has adopted me and nurtured my artistic growth. It was during my time studying for a BA in Illustration in Bristol that I discovered my love for abstract painting as a way to translate emotions in an explorative and expressive form.

I’m interested in how painting can exist in a more everyday way, outside of formal contexts, and how it can offer a moment of pause or stillness. In an environment outside of museums or galleries, but in the ordinary and residencial homes of many of us where art means and signifies the essence of creation.

I’m interested in work that holds space for quietness and intimacy, and as I continue to refine both my visual language and how the work exists beyond the studio, it is an honour to be creating something out of nothing in a world that is rapidly changing and not slowing down.
